Ily filing upon a power site on the
Umatilla river two ml lea below Wo
naha springs the Pendleton water
commission has also entered Into the
race for power rights. As a result
of the action of the commissioners
the city may now secure power for
a municipal electric plant should it
deem it advisable to install one.
Th power site whs filed upon by the
coinmlslnne rs some time ago, but the
fact was not made known until yes
terday when T. J. Brown, chairman
of the commission, filed with the
county clerk a copy of the filing no
tice. I'nJer the terms of the filing made
by the water board the city takes tho
right to about 10,000 Inches of water
from the I'm.-itlJIa river. The loca
tion of the site Is In section 23 and ia
two miles below Wenahu. It Is also
below the end of the tall race for the
lower power ite now held bjf the com
pany of which .J. A. Borle is the head.
The city takes the right to use the
water for either power or domestic
purposes
According to J. T. Hrown, chair
man mt the water board, the power
site was filed upon by the water com
mission as a precautionary measure.
They may find that a municipal plant
lr. not needed. Yet it Is the- Intention
of the commission to do the neces
sary amount of work upon the prop
ortion so as to hold the power and the
filing will be renewed when It ex
pires. The work of Investigating the sup
ply of water in the mountains with
a view to establishing ft gravity sys
tem is still going on. Under the di
rection of Frank C Kelsay, the en
gineer In charge, engineers are secur
ing data regarding the supply of wa
ter nt various points.
Hut according to the commissioners
they have decided upon no definite
plans and they may be unable to do
so for some time to come.
The problem seems to be how to
secure an adequate supply for tho
city and still have the cost of the
project i-ufflciently low that the bonds
may be sold.

Tho name of It is the liberal party

a menace to society the liberals urge
that a portion of his property revert

I'RGED TO VICTORY
BY HIS WIFE.
Chicago. Oct. 9. "This Is our wed
ding anniversary: you just have to
win,"' was the message flashed from
Chicago yesterday by Mrs. Chance,
wife of the captain of the Cubs. This
was flashing through Chance's mind
when he went to bat in the eventful
third inning. Evers and Schulte were
on bases. Chance swung hard at the
first boll pitched, sending It far Into
the crowd and scoring both men.
After the game Chance received
from his wife: "This seems to be
your day. Edith."
